NL Top Players: No. 50 Chase Headley

No. 50 Chase Headley

Position: 3B

Age: 29

B/T: B/R

Team: San Diego Padres

Lowdown: This ranking is either way too low or a bit generous, but who really knows? More than anyone else, his employers would love to know, as that would aid greatly in the decision of what to do with the player who finished fifth in the 2012 MVP balloting, then pressed all throughout the downward plunge that was 2013. What we do know: Slick fielders at the hot corner are hard to come by, and Headley's defense kept him among the league's most valuable third basemen. Let's see if that arthroscopic knee surgery, performed Oct. 1, rights the bat and vaults the Padres' mystery man back up the list.
